If you want a old movie to watch that is really great and timely considering this is an election year, might I suggest The Manchurian Candidate. It's an excellent movie starring Frank Sinatra. I don't want to give the plot away, but it deals with politics and communism. Also, don't watch it unless you watch all of it. If you miss the first ten minutes or so, you'll almost definitely have trouble understanding what's happening.
Also, I just recently learned that they're doing a remake starring Denzel Washington in the Sinatra role, Liev Schreiber in the other male lead and Meryl Streep in the mother role that Angela Lansbury was just amazing in. Jonathan Demme is directing. Usually remakes of great movies make me cringe, but this is looking to be an exception. It will, however, all turn on how they update the communist angle since communist is not the polarizing issue in America that it once was. But during an election year, it will be a must-see.
